    History. The event-packed history of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) began in 1902. Although Schweizerische Centralbahn (SCB) had been operating trains since 1 January 1901 on behalf of the Swiss federal government, the statutory framework for the establishment of SBB had yet to be created.

    Swiss Federal Railways SBB is Switzerland’s largest transport company and provides the country with links to the European high-speed network. 9,000 passenger trains per day operate on its 3,000-kilometre route network. 28,000 employees ensure safe and timely railway operation around the clock.
    On 1 January 1999 the Swiss Federal Railway has been excluded from the Federal Administration and became a fully state-owned (the federal state owns 100% of all shares) limited company regulated by public law (German: Spezialgesetzliche Aktiengesellschaft ). [citation needed]
    The Swiss Federal Railways rail network is totally electrified. The metre gauge Brünigbahn was SBB's only non-standard gauge line, until it was out-sourced and merged with the Luzern-Stans-Engelberg-Bahn to form the Zentralbahn, in which SBB holds shares. In the 19th century, all Swiss railways were owned by private ventures.
